I was wondering why conservative talk were accusing the Dems and/or liberals for hacking Palin’s account. Apparently, the guy who hacked into her account (gov.palin@yahoo.com) is the son of Rep. Mike Kernell, Tennessee state lawmaker. He simply used the “forgot my password” feature and then used publically available information to answer the security questions.
“Gov. Palin’s Alleged Hacker Indicted; Password Was ‘Popcorn’
A 20-year-old student at the University of Tennessee has been indicted for breaking into one of the email accounts of Gov. Sarah Palin and then posting screenshots of personal information obtained there to a public Web-site.
David Kernell, the son of a Democratic state lawmaker, was led into a Knoxville federal court wearing handcuffs and shackles on his ankles today and was released without posting bond, according to the Associated Press.”
Hope she’s changing all her passwords because more than likely they are all “Popcorn”.
